If your sugar levels are too high you will feel lethargic and sleepy and if they are too low you will also feel sleepy and/or dizzy. The key is to find balance. Through diet you can find the balance that you need to shrug off that tired and sleepy feeling.Sluggish or Malfunctioning Thyroid - if you have a sluggish thyroid you can just about be guaranteed that you will be asking yourself “why do I always feel tired and sleepy?” If your thyroid is sluggish or malfunctioning it may be difficult to detect at first, but once it is determined that something is not quite right you can address the issue and begin healing.
